Project Cheer

Despite the predictions of doom that some made in advance of last June’s referendum about the likely impact of a vote to Leave – what became known as “Project Fear” – we have seen an acceleration of growth. The FTSE100 has reached record highs, with votes of confidence from Apple, Google, Siemens, Nissan, Snapchat, McDonalds, IBM and many other companies. There has been a strengthening of our manufacturing sector, helping narrow our trade deficit as exports pick up. And with it all, the humiliation of Christine Lagarde, Mark Carney, the Treasury, the European Commission and others who propagated and gave credence to the Project Fear narrative.

So please take some time to flick through Project Cheer, our compilation of some of the facts, figures and news stories demonstrating that many of the predictions and projections of Project Fear have already been proven false. I hope that you find it a useful resource!
